Viewer Reviews of THE DARK KNIGHT
Watch me make this pencil disappear - ging-grrWhen first I heard that Heath Ledger had been cast as the Joker, I was wary. Sure he appeared to have talet, but I wasn't sure that he could play the psychotic Joker as I wanted him to be played. Then a few shots came out and I thought well he does look the part, but nothing could have prepared me for the sheer perfection of his performance. He took the more ... | |
BRILLIANT! - ThatGirlxXxXThe Dark Knight is one of my favourite movies, it is brilliant! I loved Batman Begins but The Dark Knight is even better! I cannot wait to see The Dark Knight Rises although it won't b the same without Heath Ledger as The Joker! Christopher Nolan is an outstanding film director and I recommend this movie to anyone who hasn't seen it! It's a must see!! more ... | |
Knock out performance as joker - shelly87The movie is all most two and half hours of knock out action. Its an amazing piece of filmmaking that rockets the batman legacy to heights never imagined. Fueled by Heath Ledgers re-invention as the joker. There still aren't enough hours in the day to gush about hes knock out performance as the joker. A must see R.I.P Heath more ... | |
Not a bad film at all - CrazyThe plot involves the Joker's attempts to humiliate the forces for good and expose Batman' secret identity, showing him to be a poser and a fraud. Batman poses a more complex puzzle than usual: The citizens of Gotham City are in an uproar, calling him a vigilante and blaming him for the deaths of policemen and others. And the Joker is more than a villain. more ... | |
AMAZING - PatrickThis is an unbelieveable film that sets a point for other(particularly comic adaptions) to reach. Great story, good effects and dazzling performances(particularly by the late Ledger) which will go down as an iconic performance. A must see more ... | |
Hang on to your seats guys! - chris FolliardIm a Very massive batman fan and have all the movies on dvd.Hang on to your seats everyone ,because your about to be blown away. This isn't just the best Batman movie ever made, this is one of the best movie ever made. Everything in this film is excellent, not one piece of annoyance. Bale marvels as Bruce Wayne/Batman,and wow Ledger has made The Joker in to more ... | |
Unique - Patrick MillerSure the summary could be more interesting but to be honest I've been trying to actually get down to writing a review for this since it came out. I've been banging my head against a wall with the "comparison" idea because I had been trying to find a comparison for this movie. The fact is there isn't any. It is a unique movie, which is rare. To more ... | |
Action Film of the decade. - gapmunkyDark as night and nearly as long, Christopher Nolan's new Batman movie feels like a beginning and something of an end. Pitched at the divide between art and industry, poetry and entertainment, it goes darker and deeper than any Hollywood movie of its comic-book kind — including “Batman Begins,” Mr. Nolan's 2005 pleasurably moody more ... | |
Excellent - meI am not your usual Batman fan but after reading many excellent reviews I had to go see it, and I was not disappointed. This film is very dark, violent, creepy, with slight humour, fantastic acting and an even more fantastic story line, it really changed all my presumptions on Batman. Heath Ledger is such a talented actor, he portrayed the joker amazingly - more ... | |
Absolutely Brilliant - Warr W62Many words can describe how great The Dark Knight is, that cant be said about any other film, just a brilliantly acted film with fantastic performances with the biggest coming from the joker and nobody would of filled the role better, filled with action, comedy and romance, one of the most enjoyable films ever seen, more ... | |
Leaving you wanting more - review queenThis was a great movie till the two face story line blurred the plot - would have been great with just the Joker on his own - who was phenomenal.. Looking forward to the next installment more ... | |
Unblievable! - hellcat1983This is The Lord Of The Rings of 2008, only much much darker, better acted and better written. This is no doubt every bit as good as you've heard. Christian Bale reprises his role as the hoarse masked vigilante trying to bring peace to the citizens of Gotham City, which is over run by the mob and various villains. The film is very quick paced and it's also more ... | |
Why only 4 stars? - LockyThis is the greatest film ever made, if not one of them. the joker is unbelievable. I was sceptic at the start as I though everyone was saying it was great because of heath ledgers death... but it is unreal. I loved it. It's not a silly comic book replica film like superman or spiderman. its absolute genius. class. 10 out of 5 more ... | |
Over-rated director + Over-rated actor = Over-rated film - JustinThere's little point in trying to be heard over inhuman fanboy squeals of delight, but ultimately The Dark Knight is a surprisingly dull film that relies on a sub-woofer physical assault rather than the deft editing and psychological gut-punch its themes demanded. more ... | |
Stunning - spikeprintWhen movie studio's start acting like they give a toss about their audience, making blockbusters with decent plot, acting, etc., they should be rewarded. With massive cinema attendance. When they make the same dross they always make, we should vote with our feet. And the voting is in on Batman. Treat us with intelligence and we will repay you. There is no more ... | |
4 start that could of been a 5 . its still a must see - elexesHere is a movie I've been waiting on for some time. Ever since they announced that the cast was going to still hold onto Christian bale as batman/Bruce Wayne I knew that I wasn't going to be let down. And to be honest the acting from Christian was good but not as spectacular as the previous movie batman begins. But was good enough to make me exit the movie more ... | |
Worth seeing - JanetThe hype about Heath Ledger in this film is well warranted and he will certainly be posthumously nominated for an Oscar but it's not his best role. It is Batman after all! There is a good performance from Christian Bale and Michael Kane also. This film is well worth seeing but it is Batman. more ... | |
FAAAAAAANTASTIC - nejjerooneyI don't think I've ever screamed with excitement in a cinema before but I did when watching this, the special effects were amazing & the Joker?? WELL.... everyone else knows, he played as such a phsycho for the part... no one else could have pulled that character off as well as he did. As a Batman fan since the day I could say Batman I was scepticle more ... | |
Masterpiece - Fabien OmanExcitable film critics, days before its release, hailed The Dark Knight as the new great American film. Cue pompous laughter from artistic snobs everywhere. 'A truly brilliant film? Oh, come on, it's Batman!' Well, it's Christopher Nolan who's had the last laugh. Visionary writing, inspired directing and incredible performances are what this movie is made more ... | |
excellent - sarah87Heath ledger's portrayal as the joker is better than i ever could have imagined! the storyline is brilliant and keeps you at the edge of your seat. Well worth the wait and the extra money it costs you to see it over and over again! "why..so..serious?" more ... | |
the joker is amazing ! 5 stars - emmothis is a very good film ! i thought that the character played by christian bale was brilliant. his moral judgement came into judge when batman had to turn himself in , however he did the right thing. heath ledger was amazing as the joker. he was a very dark character but was also brilliant. this film is a definite must see and is probably the best film i more ... | |
Darker than the bottom of a pint of Guinness - Keith RChris Nolan's abandonment of the camp stylings that had dogged the Batman films since Tim Burton's 1989 original saw the caped crusader's welcome return to top form in 2005's Batman Begins. The director's follow-up, I'm glad to say, has continued in the same vein, exploring an ever-more menacing dimension to Bruce Wayne's bombastic moonlighting. Each more ... | |
It was the way it was meant to be - maxster1976Christopher Nolans Batman takes the viewer on a roller coaster ride through the darkness that is Batman and Jokers feud. This review isn't going to delve into how spectacular Heath ledgers performance was, because it was. The writers, director and Heath should all get Oscars as it didn't fail one expectation through out. It will leave you breathless, it more ... | |
Batman Returns (in style): - cantonaisking77Having scrolled to the bottom of the Dark Knight reviews page, past more 5stars and "amazing" reviews than one man can handle, I cast my mind back to the moment I left the cinema & tried to remember what I actually thought. As far as I can remember I thought it was "Amazing" too. However I was as impressed by Christian Bale/Morgan more ... | |
excellent - mbucklee - mbuckleeOverall an excellent movie, barely allows you up for air, clung to my seat with excitement. It makes the old batman movies look like a poor mans version in comparison. Ledger was awe inspiring as the Joker, Unforgettable in fact. Gary Oldman is again always impressive and very interesting to watch as a morally upright character when usually he often plays a more ... | |
confusing but good action - conora lot of action makes up for a confusing story line.i sat in the cinema not knowing what was goin on but at least the action scenes were plentyful and action packed more ... | |
Dark but thoughtful.......... - nedi911Great storyline,amazing acting,a sense of sadness as you realize the man that made the film so entertaining is not here to receive the praise he deserves for one of his toughest but best roles!! The Dark Knight lives up to the hype which is amazing!!!! Best film this year!!! more ... | |
The Darkest Yet! - njohnstonHad expected great things from this movie, certainly not disappointed. Ledger was outstanding. Such a shame he can't be here to enjoy the success of this classic. The same story with the same villian, but it never fails to capture our attention. Has the movie been cursed, I doubt it, but it would take over your head working for so long on such a gripping more ... | |
New Improved Sequel but not perfect - pandabatThe Joker comes to Gotham and Batman must fight against the villian's anarchical, chaotic approach to crime and life which itself rubs off the city, on the hero's alter ego's life and the people around him. No more need to go any deeper into the plot of this dark but entertaining offering. Acting is pretty good all around with only Christian Bale's voice's more ... | |
5 star - Good_ChoiceOne of the best films I have ever seen and surprisingly lived up to my expectations for a change. more ... | |
Give us a break! - The PenguinYes, the acting, direction, special effects, etc., are brilliant but The Dark Knight is so dark and depressing that I had to go see Mama Mia! afterwards as an antidote. Don't get me wrong. I have been a fan of the Batman comics for years. I hated the Joel Schumacher versions for trying to camp up the franchise, but without adding any of the charm of the more ... | |
Brilliant - WayneThis was by far, the movie of the year. Heath Ledgers flawless Joker act was amazing and really worked well to the image. Although, there is a certain lack of action during the movie I must say and gets a tad boring at times but overall, the acting and the plot combine to make an excellent movie, well worth seeing more ... | |
Unbelievable - edel mccrudden2Heath Ledger occupied the role of the Joker in such a way that will make an future actor/director think twice about trying to emulate him. It's was just outstanding and while I'm a massive fan of Jack Nicholson the Joker portrayed by Ledger was darker, scarier and more sinister than anything I could have imagined. Bale is hot as usual but in this film he is more ... | |
Batman and JOker - nicenicI loved that movie, it is soo intense and especially bith roles batman and Joker are soo played well I just watched it 3 times already. I think it breaks with the settings of gotham city to be transformed into a real city. Also i remeber 2 face being created differently but in the end its a good movie wih good special effects more ... | |
Darker and darker down the rabbit-hole we go - rosiemacI can't say I hadn't been looking forward to it. Released while I was abroad, The Dark Knight brought rave reviews, endless speculation - did Heath overdose because playing the Joker troubled his mind, prevented him sleeping, haunted him far beyond the pages of his script? We'll never know, and, sadly, watching the film won't bring us any closer. Although, more ... | |
AMAZIN - courtneykennedyi loved this movie. it appeares that this movie is to long for ppl put it it worth it as its amazin to watch i loved it so much my favourite bit was the joke that the joker did with the pencil haha. i think that batman did not make this movie as well as he could have but the joker was so gd he made this movie. i think everyone that went to see it went for more ... | |
Boring and too llong - FoloThe film starts off well, and the first hour and and half is engaging and enjoyable. But after that the plot gets more and more ridiculous, and over sentimental dialogue takes up far too much time. Throughout the film, no matter what happens to the joker, good or bad, its always spun that he had planned it that way. If Batman popped up in a miniskirt and more ... | |
batman nananananaaaaaaaa batman - emzi loved this movie, saw it while i was on holiday in america and was the best money i spent the whole time absolutly brilliant!!!! more ... | |
Brilliant - Mark PunchThis film was class. Batman and Wall E the two films of the year. more ... | |
brilliant !! - Maryheaveythis film was the best film that i have seen all year, its not just heath ledgers fantastic and convincing performance of a psychotic lunatic, the whole cast was well chosen with Maggie as a good replacement for Katie homes. Altogether its great film that is a definate night at the movies but i would advise it might be a bit scary for the little kiddies. more ... | |
Batman with Brains - FeeI've just returned from the cinema having seen The Dark Knight. What a gripping film!. I hate to admit it, after the dreadful review he wrote for Mamma Mia, but I find myself agreeing with most of what your reviewer, Gavin Burke, has written. It is thematically dark, dense and intelligently thought provoking, whilst still being thrilling and full of plot more ... | |
Fantastic!! - Tim_90This film is full of pure acting brilliance. Heath Ledger delivers a stunnung performance in this dark and exciting story. This is definitely the best batman movie to date and is oscar deserving in my opinion! 10/10! more ... | |
Not your average bat - SabBeing the most hyped up film of the summer, The Dark Knight had a lot to live up to. The mystery that surrounds the film as a result of Heath Ledger's recent tragic death has only added to the pressure and excitement, and so going in to see the latest Batman installment, audiences no doubt expected a lot. The verdict so far? The caped crusader has gone more ... | |
darknight101 - dazzermoviemanI went to see it with a couple of friends and i thought it was absolutely brilliant and if yo have not seen the first 1 then go rent it out because you will be lost with the story but if you want to just see the dark knight just go, it is a complete unmisable film and i thought that heath ledger was the best actor in the entire film and i think it was the more ... | |
amazing - xxlynchyxxthis film was absolutely fantastic. for anyone who is a batman fan and knows all the stories of batman is going to really love this movie. what a performance by heath ledge the only problem with that was that we will never get it again. apart from that the story the plot the screenplay were top notch. it is a must see movie. brilliant. more ... | |
want to see it again - lucyit was brillant even better than i expected. Heath Ledger brillant as the joker.. want to see it again... more ... | |
Wow - lilyFor someone who is not into Batman i have to say that i loved this move. Heath Ledger (RIP)was amazing in it!! One of this years must sees!!! more ... | |
Very Very Good! - soniaI have to say I am sooo not a fan of Batman movies. For one I don't like sci-fi movies, and two I've always found them too dark and never liked the story-lines. I would however definitely recommend this Batman movie!! The fact that it is set in a real environment definitely helped me gel with the movie - I think it was filmed in Chicago. The only thing that more ... | |
SUPER SPECIAL AWSOME !!! - FitzyQuite simply a must see. super action scenes, special effects you cant imagine, Awsome. You have to see it to belive it. more ... | |
Fantastic - ShellyThis movie is unmissable. Heath Ledger(RIP) played the best joker i've ever seen, he really made the character his own and Chirstian Bale put in a great performance as well. Everyone should see this movie at least one in cos it is by far the best movie i've seen in a long time. more ... | |
wow!!! - whytey141love it!:)!!! heath ledger was AMAZING playing the joker!!! so scary seemingly and so believable! more ... | |
WOW - donnabest film i've seen for AGES! fabulous! didnt want it to end, not a bad word to say, fantastic! more ... | |
Excellent and Dark! - AmyMcGarrigleI loved it. Properly loved it. There was an element of unruliness and unpredictability that kept me on my seat. more ... | |
Batman Tastic ! - nichola929292This is unmissable movie ! the joker is amazing and so funny, i cant wait to go see it again. That has got to be the best film Heath Ledger had ever done. Although there is alot of killing in it dont let it put you off it. The best batman film ever made. more ... | |
good - docit was pretty good, u wouldnt even notice that its a long film! thought that heath ledger was class but the man who played batman was kinda crap.good film though more ... | |
Dark Knight up there with the greats. - David BThe Nolan brothers deserve massive credit for making a blockbuster which doesnt conform to ANY of the trends which are usually found in a superhero movie. The film is as close to a masterpiece as its ever likely to get...from the plot and script to some astonishing effects (2/3's through the film watch out for the articulated truck scene....amazing). I more ... | |
not a joke in sight! - PlantBatman ironically has a problem when clone batman's turn up as vigilantes! This film I'm sorry to have to say didn't Zap, Pap or WoW me….the acting is particularly good from the Heath Ledger as the manic Joker and of course no film with Morgan Freeman is ever bad…so ok it was an ok movie! But I thought the plots yes plots were over cooked, more ... | |
best Joker EVER! - movieloverI loved this film, although the story seemed rushed at the end especially with Harvey Dent's story. But the Joker stole the show. Heath was fantastically brilliant and he brought the only humor to such a dark film. more ... | |
the dark night - xox1o1hjxox1o1the dark night is a haunted movie witch all the family would love (only if over 15) DONT MISS OUT p.s,. heath legder rocks in this film more ... | |
Its a hard life - Siobhan LBeing a Superhero is getting Bruce Wane down. He is misunderstood and can't have the girl of his dreams. The real question is what does the City of Gotham need? and Batman seeks the answer to this deep and meaningful question throughout the film. Thank God there are lots of car chases and explosions to keep us going for the 2.5 hours. The Joker is the real more ... | |
dark knight - giovanniworth seeing but disappointing after the hype. Ledge will win the pity oscar which will ruin future use of the joker in that the next guy will always be compared to ledger. hopfully the next film or two will skip the joker and give us time to "re-see" the character. Hopefully this will not be another superman where we all had to wait far to many more ... | |
Excellent - SeanThis is by far the best batman so far, really dark and full of twists. The joker is brillient more ... | |
Wunderbar - LMRKMANClass movie. The Joker played by Heath Ledger is amazing - very Jack Nicholson'esque. Lots going on and the story is very good and doesn't feel half as long as it actually is. Roll on more Batman movies if they continue in this vain. more ... | |
OMFG!!! - lucy tthis was such a good film ! i want to go see it again. me and my mate went to seeit and it rocked! a definate must see! more ... | |
Setting a benchmark for this genre! - mrblueLets be clear here, this is the most spectacular superhero movie ever and not just that it is a superhero movie it is as well crafted a Michael Mann epic and the script and dialogs goes way beyond what one expects in this genre of cinema. The cinematography and the believability of the city of Gotham (Chicago) is amazing, This is not just about batman or more ... | |
The Bat is Back! - foz_e_bearA continuation of form on this new route the Batman has taken, Christopher Nolan stole Batman back from the theatrical in Batman Begins, and keeps the Dark Knight dark. It's an excellently filmed, highly entertaining action movie, that has an excellent plot. Brilliant performances all round. Ledger does Jack Nicholson proud, and outstanding role, that gives more ... | |
where is the Batman? - paul'The Joker Movie' would have been a better title for this movie as he is the dominant character here. At the start there's a bank robbery with a twist and things just get more twisted and disturbed from there. The whole thing spirals downward like a bat with a broken wing, until at the end you hit the jokers world with a slap. Just like a bat with a broken more ... | |
absoulutely unmissable, see at all costs - simonconnollyin 2005 Batman returned under new management. Given the task of re-inventing the series was Christopher Nolan, writer/director of Memento and The Prestige. This man cast Christian Bale. Together they made one of the years best films and now they return for a sequel. darker and more exhilarating and thrilling than all that had come before these men made more ... | |
see it on the big screen - b_plant01Batman, the dark knight... u might be forgiven for thinking that this was about batman, wrong! It's about the Joker, not only does Heath Ledger's acting steal the show, but the character the Joker is who the story revolves around. Jack Nicholson, the original batman movie joker was a convincing example of a crazy nemeses of Batman, but Heath Ledgers joker more ... | |
batman is annoying joker is terrifying! - AnneI loved the film , not being a major fan of Batman this took me by surprise.Bale isn't the hero of the movie though, he became more like an extra than the main actor. Ledger, Freeman, even Arron Eckhart stole the show. Gary Oldman was as he always is; brilliant. The only time i enjoyed seeing Bale as Batman was when he was interracting with Albert aka more ... | |
LOVED IT! - Gerdybest movie i've seen so far! heath ledger - what an actor! *tear* more ... | |
excellent - stonecolda must see. brill film . Heath Ledger as the joker was unreal. loved every min of it. custumes special effects where excellent. the dark night has it all. a must see. more ... | |
Dark and smart! - Niall cTh first thing I must say, is that this film is not for kids! There is not much of Batman, and you start to think is he the sub-plot. The best ting about this film is the joker, wonderfully played by the amazing Heath Ledger. Everything he said was spot on, and the tension he made was superb, espiecially when he and batman meet. The film overall was vey more ... | |
Outstanding - emer breenDark Knight Review The praise Expectations for The Dark Knight, the sequel to Christopher Nolan's Batman Begins were astronomical after a brilliant and well publicised marketing campaign. This set me thinking that surely the film can't live up to the hype. It proves both right and wrong, as The Dark Knight didn't just live up to my expectations, it broke more ... | |
An excellent movie for 80 minutes - hedonautMake no mistake, this is the best Batman movie, possibly the best hollywood superhero movie made in recent times. Christopher Nolan has done for the superhero movie what Paul Greengrass did for the spy movie with the Bourne Trilogy. It is gritty, realistic and relentlessly fast paced from the first to last scene, unfortunately, the two scenes are more ... | |
brilliant but flawed - batfanfirst of all i will get the flaws out of the way- the film is twenty minutes too long, they needed a better actor than Aaron Echart to play Harvey (think he was cast cause of his good lucks) and it has to be said that Maggie Gyllenhall and Morgan Freeman aren't given enough screentime, also Bales Batmans voice is awful, he sounds like Dirty Harry at one more ... | |
Want to see a magic trick?? - Aurora BelleAdmittedly I would never have called myself a fan of the superhero genre although recent flicks such as 'Iron Man' and 'Hancock' have challenged my previous viewpoint. 'The Dark Knight' impressed me so much that I may even call myself fanatical about this genre now. This is in spite of the fact that this film deconstructs the typical good vs evil dichotomy more ... | |
Enjoyable..but LONG!! - FoxyredBale's Batman IS superior to keaton and kilmer, however his 'had too whisky and fags' gravelly voice when in the batsuit is a little too much! I found i did'nt empathize with Batman in this movie,as much as in Batman Begins. Maybe its because Bales performance was eclipsed by Heath Ledger's joker. The obvious tragedy that has befallen this movie does not more ... | |
awesome - jazzyb12this is the best film that i can remember i am so happy i went to see it. batman begins was not great so i wasn't expecting much but the dark knight was brilliant more ... | |
Aidan C - AidanAnyone that gives this a poor rating dosnt know anything about movies!! Batman is a vigilante and was never known as a hero in the comics. Christopher Nolan brought back Batman from despair after Joel Schumacher detroyed a super hero reputation with the help of George Clooney. What i enjoyed the most about this epic movie, not only for the great acting by more ... | |
I believe whatever doesn't kill you simply makes you... stranger - SeverianFollowing immediately on from the events of Batman Begins, The Dark Knight opens on a crisis situation within Gotham City's underworld. Batman's (Christian Bale) one-man war against the city's criminal element has damaged their operations to the extent that they have put a huge bounty on his head (no, not the chocolate bar). At the same time, they have more ... | |
1 hour too long - OCThe Dark Knight is an unusual film in that it's the first time I would've rated a film higher if it had ended an hour earlier. The first hour and a half is really enjoyable and then the story seems to just keep extending. Bale as Batman gives an ok performance. Bale looks the part but his voice lets him down a tad, forcibly deep and with a lisp! There's no more ... | |
yeah a good film to watch in the cinema i suppose - NarvikstarFirst of all, i'm with that girl Susan who went to see the dark knight in the reel in blackpool last night....who is their right mind would bring their 4 year old child to the cinema at that hour of the night and to a film like that! and shame on the people working in the cinema to let them in. I liked the movie, okay for me Christian Bale was not a good in more ... | |
Felt saddened for Batman - GillianReally liked the film despite it having too many characters and a little too much going on. Ledger was great, as he was in everything but think it's a shame if this is considered his best role because of his sad demise. Surely Ennis Del Mar his finest hour???Felt very sad for Batman though. He gave up the girl he loved and all for what? Gotham is still a more ... | |
WOW! - Susan - CorkOK! so i went to see this last night, having spoken to my sister who had been to see it the previous night and said that it was fab! Went to the 8.30 showing in the Reel in Blackpool and before i start on the film review WHO in their right mind would bring a CHILD OF 4 dressed in their PJs to a film this late and this long!! SHAME ON YOU! the film was too more ... | |
BATMAN BACK ON TRACK - markmulvihillDON'T MISS THIS ONE..HEATH LEDGER AND CHRISTIAN BALE ARE SUPERB IN THIS DARK CLOCKWORK ORANGESQUE MOVIE..LOYAL BATMAN MOVIE LOVERS WHO WERE FORCED TO STRUGGLE THROUGH A FEW TURKEYS WILL FEEL BETTER ABOUT THIS.. more ... | |

Brilliant! - bridgetodThe Dark Knight was brilliant. Ledger was amazing funny at times in a weird way. Christian Bale was good also but im afraid the bike was a bit out there? Overall was a good watch! more ... | |
What the hell - Tom 91It is a sad sight when an extraordinary film gets such an ordinary and common review. "The Dark Knight" is one of those rare treasures that comes along once in a life time and for the action to be compared to that of "Alien Vs. Predator" is unforgivable. Would someone please tell Mr. Burke that these "subplots" as he like to more ... | |
batman! - xxperfectauthorxxbruce wayne,joker.harvey dent. the main characters above, this film was two hours and thirty two minutes! very long but you wouldnt think so at all during the film! jokers back and wants to see the true identidy of BATMAN!! you love character,violence and a little bit of a thriller then go see batman today! an oh by the way book tickets to avoid more ... | |
Why So Serious? - mountainmojoI first got my first taste of this movie at Christmas when I went to see I am Legend at an Imax Cinema. Instead of the normal 4 or 5 trailers they showed the complete opening sequence Bank Heist of the Dark Knight. Showcasing the fact that the movie's maker opted to shoot the main action sequences with Imax Cameras. Well I was blown away there and it pretty more ... | |
Slaughter is the best medicine - normWhat a show! Completely lives up to the hype, which is unusual for a blockbuster. I think all Batman fans should be thanking the Nolan brothers profusely for taking Batman from the gutter of the mid 90s and bringing the viewers a film worthy of the comics of old. The scene opens with a heist on a mob bank in downtown Gotham overseen by the psychotic Joker. more ... | |
Amazing - galway89Anyone who thought that Heath Ledger's death would surely have cast a long shadow over the latest Batman movie, The Dark Knight, was right. Amid the hype and intrigue surrounding the release of this film, we find it difficult to ignore the sinister overtones created by the death of the film's most striking character: the Joker(Ledger). But this is just one more ... | |
Amazing...!! - SexyI went to see this in Dundrum on Thursday, having seen Batman Begins on Sunday(which i thought was amazing!) but i was completely blown away. It was so good and Heath Ledger was outstanding! I'm gonna try go see it again this weekend. AMAZING!!! more ... | |
YOU HAVE TO SEE THIS FILM - chrissb7Batman delivers on a large scale off the much anticipated 'movie of the year' it not only oozes this title but wears it with pride and dares to go beyond boundaries and land in the honoured area off one of the best films ever made.In the film we see christian bale settle in to the role of batman the portrayl is magnificant he shows a flawed character whos more ... | |
Great in parts - critical massLedger Is really good. Strangely some of his 'Jokerisms' reminded me of 'Beetlejuice'. Sorry! But it's true. Overall liked the movie. Christian Bale is superb as Batman. It's a pity some of the movie lets down the 'darkness of both characters. The Bat bike was very unconvincing. I lurve superhero movies but was a tad disappointed. Perhaps the hype over did more ... | |
the holy grail of blockbusters!!! - sarahThis lived up to all my expectations, believe the hype, believe the reviews cose its all true. its very dark, very action packed, the complete package...2 and a half hours long and not for one second was i bored. Heath Ledger really did an amazing job as the joker and he deserves all the praise that's he's been getting. Very scary, funny but you dont laugh more ... | |
not the second coming of christ like every1 says - smileygreat film but its no godfather part 2. heath is unreal,not a great ending tho more ... | |
THIS FILM DELIVERS!!! - KyonAwesome...A lot of hype but still delivers and yes, Ledger is amazing!!! more ... | |
